Jim Patterson Photography "Beneath Blue Seas"

Wow, I am a slacker. Not much diving, not many new pictures, but I am determined to change this little sad fact. I purchased a housing for my digital camera, something noteworthy enough that I thought I'd mention it. I have sat on it for a month, continually telling myself to test it in the pool. Against all better judgement, I took it on a real dive instead. Needless to say, it didn't flood, but I had focus issues, and I was unable to solve them underwater. Despite the lack of focus, I quickly learned the exciting aspect of instant gratification of digital photography. I also realized how I spent more time looking at my camera instead of taking pictures.
You see, with film, you shoot and move on. You are always looking at the reef, and occasionally through the viewfinder, often not much more than the 36 frames of film. With digital, I took close to 90 pictures, and was reviewing them all as well. It was very easy to get distracted about where I was and what I was doing. Digital photography will take some getting used to. Enjoy these blurry pictures if you can. Back to log
